Because this is in the Aurora, Ill. area, these fine young ladies may well have been participating in a gang-initiation activity. It runs the gamit from shooting someone, to shoplifting, to a drive-by...

I spent a few moments at the school's website, and could not find a photo of any student or staff.

Is it safe to say it is a CoreDemocrat (tm) neighborhood?

"...may well have been participating in a gang-initiation activity."

From the webpage of one of KD Waldo's teachers --

"I dealt with six different street gangs within the community and schools. I've seen school violence up close and personally. For example, I've been under tables due to gunfire among other experiences."
